I replaced all 4 tie rods on my 2003 Taurus. They were worn out. I still have a clunk sound when steering at low speed. Like in a parking lot.
The front wheels were tight when tested at 12 and 6 position and 9 and 3.
Any ideas where I should look now??
Thanks.

Look at the boots where they connect to the sway bar and strut. Any cracks mean they need to be replaced. See picture of mine. They need to be VERY tight. I would apply blue loctite and attempt to tighten them as much as you can.

Ratcheting wrenches makes the tightening job MUCH easier. Do not use power tools.
